The Feminine
It is important to let go of preconceived ideas where the feminine is concerned. What we are talking about when we mention the word feminine is not just the feminine form, but also its essence. The feminine form is capable of holding many different energetic frequencies, but it will always have limitations, because it is created in a certain way. The forces of nature within women are different to those within men. She is receptive and able to create new life within herself. This is God's will in action - to be able to procreate, which helps to develop unselfish love on this planet. As parents we learn to be selfless, to give more attention to our families than to ourselves. Family life is part of creation and is for the benefit of creation. One generation must pass onto the next not only its genes, but intellectual and emotional patterns also. Parents shape their children, giving them a framework to live by. Mothers often have an intuitive connection to their children and their needs. Homemaking skills, and the knowledge of correct nutrition are a part of family life generally overlooked but of great value to the family and future generations. It is no accident that there are more women in the caring professions than men. It is for women to own up to the great beauty that resides within them, for the mothering role is one of the most beautiful and the one that is most easily taken for granted. The innate mothering wisdom in woman comes from the universal mother aspect of God. God's love flows out through mothers to the new born, caressing and loving them, laying foundations of love right at their birth.
Love - Love changes everything
Woman and love go hand in hand. She is created from love and it is for love that she is created. The search for love is always present within her. In everyday life there are many opportunities for love to grow and expand and for those traits that stand in the way of love to be overcome.
As she grows in love, her heart can open and expand like a rosebud into a beautiful flowering rose. The supreme blossoming of love occurs when she begins to search and finds the inner highway leading to spiritual divine love. This is available to every woman and is the crowning glory of her life. It is through divine love, which is completely unconditional, that women will find their own truth. This is not something to be talked about but to be experienced. Love is there for everyone, and it is within everyone. Love brings a feeling of unity and joy.
It is not so easy to allow true love in, for to do this, we have to start emptying out those lower forms of love that obstruct it. It is necessary to start to discriminate between the lower forms of love - lust, infatuation and greed. The craving of the senses for sexual gratification without the presence of true heart love is a form of lust. Lust is a craving of the senses. When love is present within the sexual act, it leads to expansion - joy, unity, caring, and a feeling and a knowing of the beauty of the one who is loved. This love seeks the well-being of the one loved and harmony can then prevail. A beautiful pink aura surrounds those who are truly in love and it is a blessing to be in their presence.
Valuing yourself also comes under the heading of love. Sometimes we have patterns within us from the past, where we have been hurt and have stopped seeing ourselves in a positive light. We may even think that we are incapable of being loved or of truly loving others. This is an illusion and can be worked through so that love is allowed to blossom.
Sometimes, we can become infatuated with another person, we become obsessed with them and want to possess and own them. This is usually a physical attraction and is short lived and can lead to other negative traits such as jealousy, anger and disappointment. This kind of love is conditional.
The essences and the exercises contained within this book are designed to help you to move forward on the path of true love and to seek out those lower levels that are ready to be discarded.
Creativity
Through the ages, women have created beautiful objects with their own hands. Creativity is inherent within, and it is natural to create beads to wear and to decorate our homes with colours, pleasing fabrics and designs. In today's world where the mind and intellect have become more dominant, it is important to create balance by being creative. This engages a different type of energy and is usually calming and satisfying. Many women today, work in occupations where they are part of a large organisation that gives little room for creativity and satisfaction. When seeking to find a balance within, so that the spiritual dimension may be accessed, outer balance is also required. Creativity provides this balance. It is a joy and a delight. When working for large corporations we can sometimes feel that we have not created anything worthwhile during the day, and it is for this reason that some personal creativity is necessary.
Feminine Wisdom
Throughout history, women have gathered knowledge and experience, which has formed the basis of women's wisdom. For the first time in our history women are able to have choice and a greater degree of freedom. In the past, she has been expected to marry and have children and to fulfill family expectations and obligations.
In the world of today there has been a great freeing up of the feminine and she has grown to take her place within the workplace, and to feel more freedom in relationships. At the present time however, the feminine seems to be under pressure from too much freedom. Where do the boundaries lie with regard to sexual relationships, marriage and friendships? Should she have children and if so, how should she care for them when she needs to be out in the work place? Can she cope with this dual role and keep everyone happy including herself? Many marriages are breaking up under the strain and pressure of modern day living. Creating a family and bringing up children is challenging. Balance, understanding and wisdom is needed. Young children need the specialised care of one or both parents who have love in their hearts for them. Bringing up children is not just about their physical and mental health, but also their emotional and spiritual well being.
When there is too much pressure and too much materialistic living, the true feminine gets covered over, and the spiritual aspects of the divine within are lost to view. She becomes bowed down with worries and cares and gives over the care and nourishing of her family to others. True feminine wisdom needs to lead the way rather than the social complexities of today. The woman of today can then express the truth of who she is and know what she needs to do to feel fulfilled. This truth needs to be expressed from deep within.
It is essential for women to make time for themselves. Each day, put aside half an hour or more for being quiet within and becoming aware of your true inner self. It can be difficult to quieten the mind and the outer world, but with perseverance it can be done and needs to be habitual for it to really work. (See section on Meditations.)

Remember - flower essences do not work all the time for everybody, nor are they a complete or exclusive system of healing for the emotions. They should not be used instead of properly qualified medical or health practitioner advice. Always get an orthodox medical diagnosis, particularly to exclude unsuspected and undiagnosed important illness, and as part of your partnership with health practitioners on your journey of health. |
